Pakistan makes the world's clothes. The brand is never ours.

Rastah changed that. Bieber. Chalamet. London Fashion Week. All from Lahore.

Sat with Zain Ahmed (@zainoo_95) to understand how. The pricing strategy. The inventory disasters. The community that defended the brand and the future of celebrity endorsement.

Full episode out now.

Pakistan’s role has shifted from facilitator and go-between to direct mediator and peace negotiator (amid reports of 3-way talks taking place in Islamabad). For now at least, Pakistan’s in the driver’s seat in the difficult & delicate effort to guide the US & Iran to an off ramp.

“I’m frightened no one wants to read, that people aren’t inquisitive.I’m frightened that someone can’t just take a book one afternoon & sit outside & read…that people don’t know great works of literature…that show you power of expression,power of metaphor,that make you think.”

Attended an incredible Friday Khutba on importance of reading in Islam—decline in reading for pleasure over 20 yrs has hurt comprehension. The first revelation to Prophet (PBUH) could have been “bismillah” or “in the beginning” yet was “Read in the name of your Lord who created”

It will take 123 years to reach gender parity, according to our newly released Global Gender Gap Report 2025. This may seem like a long time, but that figure was 132 years in 2024. Read the full report to learn more about progress towards parity: https://t.co/0lJEc03Tee #gendergap25

I have been doing this and also adding spirit (prayer/meditation) to my days in my regular intervals. I think our daily routines should have quiet moments like this -- the tea, the books, the music -- and we need them. But they are essentially openings for spirit, for adding some soul to a constant grind, so I find myself taking spirituality out of the background and foregrounding it more than once a day.

My latest for @TeenVogue explores the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A.

Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it was tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars

@ImKindOfTrash Those look like Rs 100 notes which equal ~ $0.36
